Circle actions on function field Bost-Connes systems: the compact group advantage is illusory, and the Weil zeta function is thermodynamic

The circle action coming from the degree grading on a function field Bost-Connes system is analyzed: the apparent advantage of a compact acting group is shown to be illusory for classification purposes, while the Weil zeta function of the underlying curve is exhibited as a thermo...

Certification Is Not Evidence: Evidence Classes and the Assessment of Safety Arguments in Battery Energy Storage Procurement

On 13 August 2026, Clearstone Energy's appeal for a 150 MW storage system in Axminster, England, was dismissed because the inspector was not persuaded that deflagration mitigation strategies would work effectively for cabinets spaced 10 cm apart. Separation distance is among the...

Diagnostic yield and distribution of initial head CT findings in adult trauma patients: a retrospective cross-sectional study from a level I trauma center

Head trauma is a common presentation to the emergency department, and non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) is the choice modality for evaluating suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study evaluated the diagnostic yield and distribution of initial CT findings and fac...

Perception of Post-Graduate Students on the Effectiveness of Communication Channels for Information Sharing among Federal Universities in North-West Zone, Nigeria

This study examined postgraduate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of communication channels used for information sharing in federal universities in the North-West zone of Nigeria. The research pursued two objectives: to identify the communication channels most frequentl...

When Correction Stops Arriving in Time Comparing completion time with detect-and-restore time: an observer-relative criterion, its lower bound, and a per-cell measurement protocol

Abstract On the question whether a given system already constitutes general intelligence, mutually contradictory verdicts now coexist and neither side can refute the other: the developer announces arrival on the strength of scores across benchmarks, commentators point out non-arr...

Reconfiguring heritage interpretation skills: a theory-building study of VR, AR, and mobile technologies in tourism guiding education

Incorporating immersive technologies into tourism guidance education offers new opportunities for heritage interpretation and professional preparation. This study examines how virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and interactive mobile applications shape the learning expe...

Overcoming Challenges in Scholarly Communication Platform Utilization: A Study of Librarians in Military Institutions in Northern Nigeria

Scholarly communication platforms have become essential tools for enhancing research visibility, collaboration, and knowledge dissemination in higher education institutions. Despite these benefits, their effective utilization remains constrained by several organizational, technol...

Unifying Qubit Symmetries: SU(2), Bloch Geometry, and Dissipative Semigroups — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Spin-1/2 qubit symmetries unify Lorentz/Poincaré group structure with Bloch sphere geometry via SU(2) representations, while dissipative dynamics extend the Bloch ball to gl(3,R)⊕R³ semigroup actions. | MATH: SU(2) ≅ Spin(3) double-covers SO(3); Bloch sphere S² ≅ SU(2)/U...

Urea and blood urea nitrogen levels in pediatric and adult patients with uremic stomatitis: a systematic review

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by a progressive loss of kidney function with increased levels of urea and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the blood, which contribute to the development of uremic stomatitis. Uremic stomatitis is an oral...

CosmosBeating • Beer Foam and Quantum — Paper IV: Local Re-Tearing: Horizon, Hedging, and PnP

CosmosBeating • Beer Foam and Quantum (CB•BFnQ) A Ledger Reading of the Early Universe: Zero, Foam, and the Quantum A short, non-technical companion to the five-paper CosmoBeating: Beer Foam and Quantum (CB•BFnQ) series, written for readers in cosmology, particle physics, or phil...

Reclaiming the voice? Precarity and the quest for freedom in Belarus

This article examines the nexus of state-engineered precarity and transformative resilience following the 2020–2021 protests in Belarus. It argues that precarity and resilience co-exist and operate within the realm of everyday life. Building on the literature on precarity, resili...

Physics-Guided Hybrid Intelligent Method for Predicting Mixed Oil Length in Multiproduct Pipelines

Abstract To ensure the reasonableness of the contamination oil cutting plan as well as to improve product quality and operation efficiency, accurately predicting the length of mixed oil in pipelines is crucial. However, due to the high-dimensional nonlinear characteristics in mix...

Kinetics and adsorption isotherm of cadmium and lead on waste- agricultural derived biochar and their stabilization in two different polluted soils

Abstract The current study evaluated sugarcane bagasse biochar (SCBB) as an adsorbent for cadmium (Cd²⁺ ) and lead ( Pb²⁺). By using the stirred-batch technique, a kinetic experiment was conducted at two concentrations, while an adsorption isotherm experiment was performed at fiv...

Age-Related Differences in Surgical Management of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: A Nationwide Registry Analysis

Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) rarely affects elderly individuals, and its clinical characteristics in this population remain insufficiently defined. This study aimed to investigate epidemiologic features and age-related differences in the surgical management of GCTB...

Sato-Tate families in localized Bost-Connes systems: open phase, no congruence obstruction, and the symmetric power expansion

For a non-CM elliptic curve over Q and a Sato-Tate interval of angles, the associated prime family has positive density, critical exponent one, and an open symmetry-broken phase, with zeta_S(beta) = (delta + o(1)) log(1/(beta-1)) unconditionally, sharpening to O(1) under any effe...

Quantum Optics Pedagogy: No Golden-Ratio Link Found — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are predominantly pedagogical videos and lecture links on quantum optics, interference, and phase; no explicit golden-ratio or geometric-harmony discovery is present in the provided abstracts or titles. The only substantive mathematical content is the...

Penrose Tilings: Non-Periodic Order from Local Rules — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Penrose tilings demonstrate that non-periodic order can arise from local matching rules, breaking the ancient assumption that 5-fold symmetry is impossible in crystalline structures. | MATH: Golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; inflation/deflation scaling by φ² (≈2.618); t...
